Mercy Scollay
She is newly engaged to a Patriot leader, but worries that the looming war will affect her happiness.
It’s possible that one day Mercy Scollay could have became a First Lady. But, because of the tragic death of her fiancée, her life remained forever a shadow of what could have been. Although intelligent, beautiful, and wealthy, she remained unmarried and dependent upon her family. Her story is a reminder that war has lasting consequences for everyone, not just soldiers and politicians.
From the Card:
- Your affluent Boston family throws its weight behind the Patriot cause.
- Your fiancée dies bravely at the Battle of Bunker Hill. You are left to care for his four children from a previous marriage.
- You aren’t entitled to a war widow’s pension, because you were not yet married. Patriot leaders assist you in gaining money to support yourself, but you never become financially independent.
- You never marry and live with your sister until your death.
